Hello Listers,

Like to thank everyone that submitted their answer to this weeks POP QUIZ FRIDAY.

Question

T or F
A common parent body for HEDs meteorites was speculated back in 1918?

Answer

T

A common parent body for HEDs was speculated back in 1918 (Hutchison 2004), and that parent body was currently believed to be the asteroid 4 Vesta. I would like to congratulate Lois for the correct answer and will be receiving a 1.2g Harrisonville meteorite found on April 09, 1933.

Also if you like to learn more about Vest and the oxygen isotopes similarities take a look at this link down below. I did find it odd that with the 34 HED meteorite used in the experiment that 017 was the same but there was some variations in 016 018 isotopes. Is it safe to say that if there is at least one common isotope then the meteorites come from a common parent body or is that false or depends on the parent body?
